Open Source Erlang Software

Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, applications to interface towards other languages, debugging and release handling tools. Erlang/OTP is available as pre-built binary packages by most OS package managers. You can use Kerl, a script that lets you easily build Erlang with a few commands. We take security bugs in Erlang/OTP seriously. The Erlang distribution includes a step-by-step getting started guide.

Zotonic is the content management system and framework for semantic data and high-connectivity websites. Your data outlives your website. Grow your data and share your data. The Zotonic content management system excels in managing structured data from multiple sources. It brings structure to your documents and makes semantic data manageable for normal humans. Real-time connectivity is deeply integrated using the Internet of Things publish/subscribe protocol MQTT. You can rapidly develop CMS-based sites on top of Zotonic. If you need more flexibility, you can customize all aspects of Zotonic. The included web server means can start working with Zotonic right away, without the need for installing Apache or Nginx separately. Zotonic is structured into modules. Each module offers a specific piece of functionality; the CMS is itself a module. There are modules for access control, social media integration, TLS, video embeds and much more.

CloudI is an open-source private cloud computing framework for efficient, secure, and internal data processing. CloudI provides scaling for previously unscalable source code with efficient fault-tolerant execution of ATS, C/C++, Erlang/Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript/node.js, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, or Rust services. The bare essentials for efficient fault-tolerant processing on a cloud!

hackney is an HTTP client library for Erlang. No message passing (except for asynchronous responses): response is directly streamed to the current process and state is kept in a #client{} record. Binary streams, SSL support, keepalive handling, basic authentication. Stream the response and the requests, fetch a response asynchronously, multipart support (streamed or not), and chunked encoding support. It can send files using the sendfile API. Optional socket pool, REST syntax, hackney, Method(URL) (where a method can get, post, put, delete, ...)

Erlang OPENGL/SDL api and utilities.

30-days-of-elixir is an educational repository created by Josh Adams (seven1m) designed to teach the fundamentals of the Elixir programming language through a structured, daily learning approach. The project provides a series of exercises and examples meant to guide learners from the basics of Elixir syntax to more advanced functional programming concepts. Each day introduces new material in a concise and practical format, encouraging hands-on experimentation and gradual mastery of the language. The content covers essential topics such as pattern matching, recursion, data structures, processes, and message passing—core principles that define Elixir’s design. This incremental learning format allows developers to build confidence and understanding while maintaining consistent progress. As one of the early and influential resources in the Elixir community, 30-days-of-elixir remains a valuable guide for self-learners and newcomers to the functional programming paradigm.

Implementation of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) for Erlang. The AOP weaver is running against a target set of source files and controlled by aspect definitions. The weaver is implemented as a parse transformation function of Erlang compiler.

Anond is a ongoing experiment striving to provide transparent IP-level anonymization using virtual network interfaces, peer-to-peer and overlay network techniques. Anond is an implementation of an anonymous routing protocol with ideas taken from the paper "Anonymous overlay network supporting authenticated routing" by Roman Schlegel and Duncan S. Wong.
